She survived betrayal, but vengeance may cost her heart.

Left for dead, Lysa awakens in the lavish sanctuary of her mentor—the legendary Morrigan. But recovery brings complications in the form of Rian al'Duer, Morrigan's dangerously charming and maddeningly arrogant nephew. Lysa’s innocence burned away the night she was betrayed, leaving only a smoldering thirst for revenge and the will to dismantle the conspiracy that destroyed her life.

Their pursuit plunges them into a perilous game, tracking the elusive shadow known as Saito across the dazzling, deceptive world of Aetura. From the gaslit streets of Breyonne, where whispers conceal deadly secrets, to the luxurious casinos of Monte Luce, where fortunes shift with each heartbeat, their journey leads to Xi'an—a nation as seductive as it is perilous, brimming with ancient rituals and cutthroat intrigues.

As Lysa dons the seductive and deadly persona of the Crimson Lily once more, each step draws her deeper into danger—and closer to Rian, whose hidden depths ignite a passion she vowed never to feel again. With every shadow they chase, their lives entwine more intricately, blurring the line between ally and lover, trust and betrayal.

Can Lysa exact her vengeance without losing herself—or worse, losing her heart to the one man capable of destroying it? In this intoxicating game of revenge, romance, and redemption, the ultimate price might be more than she's prepared to pay.

Not all scars heal. Some become weapons.
